Incidentally, regarding Halo 2
Ok, so we all know it was leaked – probably by someone at the mastering plant. It still strikes me as extremely wierd that some people will quite happily download and play a leaked videogame but would be incredibly peeved if you referred to them as a thief. Course, the leakage is generating a shedload of additional pubicity for Microsoft and Bungie (probably more so than the publicity created by the whole ‘ilovebees.com’ thing).
It’s been suggested, by the more paranoid, that the leak was deliberate and that the leaked version contains some code which will identify a chipped xbox the next time the user switches off the chip and connects to live. I’m sure those lovely people at Microsoft wouldn’t be so underhanded, would they? 😉
